Part 02 : SQL and Data Modeling for the Web

You'll learn the skills needed to traverse the stack and develop an entire database-backed web application. By the end of the course, you'll have the fundamentals you need to start building web applications, including how to do Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations on a database, how to apply these operations across both databases and web applications, how to set up relationships between elements of an application, and ultimately how to think about important principles and patterns in building data models for a web application

Part 03 : API Development and Documentation

In this project, you will use the skills you’ve developed to build a Trivia API. The goal of this project is to use APIs to control and manage a web application using existing data models. You’ll be given a set of data models and the application front end. Your task will be to implement the API in Flask to make the Trivia game functional.

Module 01: API Development and Documentation
- Lesson 01: Introduction to APIs
  In this lesson, you'll learn what APIs are, how they're implemented, and why they're important. We'll also dive into the concepts of Internet Protocols and REST.
- Lesson 02: HTTP and Flask Basics
  In this lesson, you'll learn about HTTP—including methods, requests, responses and status codes— as well as how to set up a Flask app, and implement and test endpoints using Curl.
- Lesson 03: Endpoints and Payloads
  In this lesson, you'll learn about how Flask is extensible in itself to handle different kinds of methods, more complex endpoints, and to return formatted data to the client.
- Lesson 04: API Testing
  This lesson teaches students the benefits and purposes of testing an API, Test-Driven Development for APIs and implementing the tests using unittest.
- Lesson 05: API Documentation
  To round out the course, students will consider and write API documentation and project documentation so their projects can be hosted, shared, and used by other developers with clarity.
- Lesson 06: Project: Trivia API
  In this project, you'll use your new API and API documentation skills to build a trivia API.

Part 04 : Identity Access Management

In this part, you will build the backend for a coffee shop application. You’ll add user accounts and authentication to your application and use role-based access management strategies to control different types of user behavior in the app.

Module 01: Identity and Access Management
- Lesson 01: Foundation
  Set the groundwork for understanding information security and refresh your understanding of the technologies used in future lessons.
- Lesson 02: Identity and Authentication
  Explore frequently used methods of identifying who is making requests on web systems. Implement modern software patterns to accomplish this goal across the stack.
- Lesson 03: Passwords
  Understand and overcome common pitfalls of the ubiquitous password authentication design pattern.
- Lesson 04: Access and Authorization
  Limit access to specific resources or actions by restricting requests only to authorized request to particular users and groups of users. Implement role-based access controls (RBAC) across the stack.
- Lesson 05: Thinking Adversarially
  Stay one step ahead of attackers by implementing a secure development process and knowing how to keep informed on the cutting edge of security research.
- Lesson 06: Project: Coffee Shop Full Stack
  In this project, you'll demonstrate your new authentication and authorization skills by creating a full-stack application for a coffee shop menu.

Part 05 : Server Deployment and Containerization

Develop an understanding of containerized environments, use Docker to share and store containers, and deploy a Docker
container to AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service using the CI/CD pipeline.

Module 01: Server Deployment, Containerization and Testing
- Lesson 01: Introduction
  Welcome to the Server Deployment, Containerization, and Testing course!
- Lesson 02: Containers
  An introduction to containers and Docker. In this lesson, you will install Docker locally, define a container using a Dockerfile, download and launch a Docker container, and store and share it.
- Lesson 03: AWS and Kubernetes
  Introduce AWS services, create resources with console and CLI, explain container orchestration and Kubernetes, create EKS Cluster with console and Eksctl, and manage Kubernetes with Kubectl.
- Lesson 04: Deployment using CI/CD
  Deploy app to EKS, create AWS resources with Cloudformation YAML, and set up end-to-end CI/CD pipeline with AWS CodePipeline and CodeBuild.
- Lesson 05: Deploy Your Flask App to Kubernetes Using EKS
  In this project, learners will create a container for your Flask web app using Docker and deploy the
  container to a Kubernetes cluster using Amazon EKS.
  
  Project Description - Deploy Your Flask App to Kubernetes Using EKS

Part 06 : Full Stack Capstone

You will now combine all of the new skills you’ve learned and developed in this course to construct a database-backed web API with user access control. You will choose what app to build and then you’ll design and build out all of the API endpoints needed for the application and properly secure them for use in any front end application (web or mobile).

Module 01: Capstone Project
- Lesson 01: Capstone Prep and Deployment Options
  In this lesson you’ll be introduced to the Capstone project. You'll learn how to deploy your API to Heroku and the Render Cloud Platforms.
